Turn .ogg into .avi

[babellou2]

Hello, I'm a newbie who wants to turn .ogg files into .avi files. I'm using ffmpegx on a mac intel core duo 2. I use to drop the .ogm file on the ffmpegx window, let it choose automatically which format is the good one and I click on "encode". The dash windows opens and in two seconds it says that it's done. The problem is that when I look at the result I have a container with zero kb in it.

I really don't know what to do, can anybody help me please ?

The Log may hold clues to why a conversion failed. You may access the Log by clicking the blue "i" in the ffmpegX Progress window.
Based on any error found in there, fellow users may be able to suggest a fix.

(Note: I know, I know, this doesn't REALLY help. )

Actually, OGM files are usually - technically - Xvid AVI video streams (no audio) with one or more Ogg audio streams (and alternately, one or more subtitle streams) in the OGM container. I don't know of a way to demux them on a Mac, though - but all you'd need to do to create AVIs from OGMs is really just demux, convert the Ogg audio to MP3, and mux the MP3 streams into the AVI.

Mods -- please consider a sticky that says:

When asking for help, consider posting details such as source and target file characteristics, as well as information from the Progress logfile (click the blue "i" in the Progress window). Simply saying "I tried X and it didn't work" doesn't give others much to work with. The more specific information you provide, the greater the likelihood that someone can figure out a solution to your problem.

You're right tomlee59 so I post what it says when I click on "I" button:

I don't know of a way to demux them on a Mac, though - but all you'd need to do to create AVIs from OGMs is really just demux, convert the Ogg audio to MP3, and mux the MP3 streams into the AVI.

D-Vision is the right soft for that. It includes an .OGM demux tool and an .avi muxing tool. Babellou2 will still have to burn the subtitles in the video, i.e. re-encode the video track with ffmpegX.

Thank all of you, I'm going to try with D-Vision.

Thanks! I knew there had to be something.

Thank you all for all your replies, converting with D-Vision is really easy, I used Switch to convert .ogg files into .mp3 and everything works.
